Contribution Region Dialog

A contribution region allows contributors to edit a portion of the web page using the Contributor application or a third-party application (when native documents are used). You can add a contribution region to a page template, specify the options that are available to contributors, and customize document conversion settings (for native documents) in this dialog.

Element	Description
ID	An identification automatically generated by Site Studio.
Name	The name that you give to the contribution region. The name displays in Design view to represent the region. (The name of the region is used for coding purposes and may not contain spaces, or non-ASCII or special characters.) If you reuse the same data file on multiple page templates, then the name of the region and its elements on each page must be the same.
Contributor edit	Makes the contribution region editable. Consequently, contributors can edit the content assigned to the region by left-clicking the contribution icon or right-clicking the icon and choosing "Edit" (to launch Contributor for data files) or "Check Out and Open" (to launch a third party application for native documents).
Document info	Adds a "Document Info" link to the right-click menu of the contribution icon. Contributors can use this to go to the Content Information page for the data file or native document assigned to the region.
Workflow approve	Adds an "Approve Document" link to the right-click menu of the contribution icon. Contributors (contributors designated as reviewers or contributors in the workflow) use this to approve the data file or native document assigned to the region.
Workflow reject	Adds a "Reject Document" link to the right-click menu of the contribution icon. Reviewers (contributors designated as reviewers or contributors in the workflow) use this to reject the data file or native document assigned to the region.
Modify metadata	Takes contributors to the Assign Info Form page before saving the data file assigned to the region so that they can update the metadata for the data file. Define: Opens the Enable Metadata Modification dialog (see Enable Metadata Modification Dialog), where you can specify the metadata that is available to contributors when they save the file assigned to the region.
Switch region content	Adds a "Switch Region Content" link to the right-click menu of the contribution icon. Contributors use this to create a file (contributor data file or native document) or browse to an existing file and assign it to the region. Define: Opens the Region Content Options dialog (see Region Content Options Dialog), where you specify the options that are available to a contributor when switching or assigning content to the region.
Switch region template	Adds a "Switch Region Template" link to the right-click menu of the contribution icon. Contributors use this to select a different region template to use in the contribution region.
View Web Site Usage Report	Adds a "View Web Site Usage Report" link to the right-click menu of the contribution icon. Contributors use this to view a site report showing where the file (the contributor data file or native document assigned to the region) is used throughout the site.
View Content Tracker Report	Adds a "View Content Tracker Report" link to the right-click menu of the contribution icon. Contributors use this to view a site report showing how many times a file (the contributor data file or native document assigned to the region) was viewed and who viewed it.
Settings	Opens the Native Document Conversion Settings dialog (see Native Document Conversion Settings Dialog (Legacy)), where you specify a Dynamic Converter template or rule that is used to convert native documents assigned to the region.
OK	Saves your settings and closes the Contribution Region dialog.
Cancel	Cancels your settings and closes the Contribution Region dialog.
Help	Opens the online help for this specific dialog.
